I”
Chapter 199
Betty immediately became the best straw dummy.
“Did
Did you really do this, Betty?” Newton asked in pure disbelief.
Landon’s eyes narrowed as he glared at Betty. If Laurie hadn’t accidentally drank that wine, he would have become a victim under a hand!
Alyssa remained calm throughout, a faint sneer on her lips. It was as if she had grown bored of all the vileness present.
*How dare you accuse me, you bitch?” Betty shrieked, about to storm up to the maid and kick her in the face when Sophia reined her in.” I’m Javier Beckett’s daughter. Think of what I would do to you if you accused me of such a vile crime!”
She might be sharp–tongued on the surface, but Betty was actually terrified out of her wits. She couldn’t drag Liana down with her, as that would reveal them as cohorts.
Suddenly, Betty realized Liana had used her.
“How could you be so evil as to accuse my daughter? Our family treats all of you servants very kindly. Yet, here you are, still trying to drug these two young men. Now you’re trying to shift the blame on my daughter? Damn you!” Sophia yelled.
She tugged Javier’s hand, saying. “Quick, call the police! Lock this evil woman up right now! She’s slandering our daughter!”
Obviously. Javier wouldn’t believe that her daughter would do something so vile. “Get her up from the floor. Someone call the police!”
“No! No, it wasn’t me! Ms. Betty told me to do this! She even said she would pay me a big sum afterward so I could quit my job and live a rich life! Why are you still lying, Betty Beckett? You were the one who wanted to seduce and sleep with Mr. Harper! Say something!” the maid screeched, glaring at Betty.
Sophia wanted to shove her foot in the girl’s mouth so she would stop talking. She quickly had someone take her away.
The maid had no evidence, she was sure. If she did, it would have been presented already.
On the other hand, Alyssa had understood the gist of everything and concluded that things were not that simple.
She had lived with the Beckett family for three years, and she had grown to understand Betty Beckett pretty well in these three years.
Betty had always been straightforward and upfront with her actions, never capable of coming up with something so backward and evil
Sure enough, there was a hint of a smirk on Liana’s face.
